Complementary Currencies Conference report-back w/Stefanie Rearick of Madison

We're working on confirming the timing, but please RSVP if interested and we'll let you know as details firm up.

At the Complementary Currencies conference at The Hague last month, we connected with a US-based activist, community organizer, and musician who's coming to the Bay Area next month, with a performance right across the street from our EBCOHO clubhouse, at The Long Haul collective near Ashby BART.

So we're putting together either a brunch or an after-lunch talk, depending on when her performance is scheduled. Together, we'll share about international and domestic innovations in time-banking, complementary currencies, and other tools that help people and groups collaborate and build their own community economies.

Based in Madison, Wisconsin, Stephanie Rearick is founder and Co-Director of the Dane County TimeBank, a 2075-member time exchange, and Project Coordinator of Time For the World. In addition to her work in timebanking and promoting ground-up economic and community regeneration, Rearick is co-owner of Mother Fool's Coffeehouse. Rearick worked for Greenpeace for six years of young adulthood, helped launch Madison Hours local currency in 1995 and served for several years on the steering committee of independent local political party Progressive Dane. Rearick also works as a musician.

So please RSVP here to express your interest and save the date, we'll treat all as tentative until we have confirmation of the exact times and format.
